Ellie Trashcakes posted:There maybe crossed wires here, because there's just a lot of Afghanistan discourse goin on, but yeah, Aduck, this a terf taking the position that incels and the fuckin Taliban can't be all bad cos hey, they hate trans people too 👍 oh wow... great way to get people on your side. sounds like a fun crowd of cool people that everyone would want to join. but what makes the RF part of terf if this person qualifies? she's caricaturing the entire left wing like she's the westboro baptist church or something. isn't a terf supposed to at least pretend an identification with the left?

Even the ones who don't really care about feminism still like to use the feminist language of privilege and misogyny to attack trans people. As opposed to the like proper conservative transphobes who just shout "god hates you and wants you to die" at any lgbt person they see. And mostly aren't on twitter

There is a core of that gang of british terfs that genuinely did come from the radical feminist movement; a bunch of middle-class white cis women who think anything that doesn't benefit middle-class white cis women is an insidious plot to destabilise the Cause. But most people using their arguments are just garden-variety bigots.

FFT posted:I'm fully aware that SWERF 'n' TERF is catchier If we're going to shave that down, I prefer to just call them Plain White TEs. They're generally dim enough to not get the creepy-rear end tones of Hey There Delilah, so they probably don't hate it as a term.

I dunno, it doesn't seem that simple. At least here in Spain I feel like a lot of them do come from the feminist side and just happen to be anti-trans people. It's not uncommon to see pro-feminist and anti-capitalist slogans right next to TERF ones. Basically their point seems to be "sex is biologically determined while gender is an oppressive social construct". They don't have the self awareness to realize trans people suffer from that same oppression, or that their slogan "sex is not gender" is kinda self defeating.

Yeah I didn't see that tweet as 'taliban good' but 'taliban bad, and bad happens on basis of physical sex not whatever weird poo poo you leftists think gender is; we are more oppressed' Even though yknow the taliban would probably just shoot trans people on sight It's a different flavour of stupidity but I think the distinction is important if you want to counter the argument

The RF part is largely a legacy thing; the original radfem movement of the 60s/70s was extremely skeptical of transgender identity as part of a broader criticism of gender roles. So transphobes like to cherry-pick arguments from old school radfems in order to claim feminist bona fides, disregarding the context that 1. that was the 70s and feminist thought has evolved since then, 2. gender theory has also evolved since then and many of those arguments were originally a response to the regressive and lovely ideas about gender that were more prevalent in the psychiatric community back then, and 3. radfem critiques about transgender identity are part of a larger critical model of gender that modern transphobes largely reject, outside of the bits that let them heap abuse on marginalized people; many transphobes are happy to celebrate femininity (but only for the Right People) in a way that would disgust the radfems whose arguments they appropriate.
